Similar to the previous KSL-Neiro but comes with SILVER OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS. This 8 watt amplifier can be ordered (or changed internally) to 4 or 8 Ohms. The 4 Ohm tap is especially good for some harder loading speakers, such as those with impedances lower than 8 Ohm.

Since 1988, Ongaku is the evergreen model of Audionote Japan. The current production is now using partial KSL technology (internal wiring). This improved the overall frequencies response over the older productions.

The hallmark of all Kondo power amplifiers is that they are made of pure hand drawn silver wire. The out transformers are wound with age annealed silver wire, all internal signal wiring and ground are pure silver litz braid covered with six coat of polyurethane. There are over 20 pounds of pure silver in each Ongaku.

All Kondo amplifiers use special Hi-B cores in their output transformers. The exact composition, as well as the annealing and stamping of the core material are all engineered by and supervised by Kondo. There are no ‘off the shelf’ materials used in Kondo’s output transformers.

All Kondo amps have a heavy, pure copper chassis.

All Kondo power amplifiers use ISO TANGO power transformers and chokes, these are the worlds finest.

All Silver Kondo amps use hand made silver coupling capacitors made from hand drawn silver foil. These capacitors are made in Kondo’s own factory.

The tantalum resistors, designed by Kondo and unique to the Audio Note line, are costly but are no compromise and necessary to obtain the “Kondo sound”.

Kondo amps are wired with a special acid free, silver solder strictly selected.
